I quickly got down to a neighbourhood cycling shop in Sungai Way (
Fook Sang Bicycle Shop) and found myself an affordable entry level
Jamis mountain bike, the
2008 Durango 1 and got it modified to be suitable for commuting approximately 20km (one way) once I have the skills and stamina. The mechanic exchanged the mountain bike tyres with road tyres and adjusted the ,
saddle height to suit my size. He provided a bicycle lock, an Iron-Mag helmet, front lights, brake lights and
cat-eye to make the ride safer.
It would be another 2 weeks before I would try cycling to work. Meanwhile, I will have to train my stamina in the SS2 and Taman Tun Dr Ismail / Bukit Kiara surrounding daily.I have started a
Cycling Professionals Google Group to trace a suitable route to take from SS2 to USJ 9. Meanwhile, I am looking forward for more input from our specialist coaches and cyclists.
